"The vibe at Drifters Wife, a gorgeous 60-seat restaurant with an organic and natural wine shop, is at once warm and welcoming; sophisticated without pretense. It echoes the personalities of owners Orenda and Peter Hale, and their close friend and comrade, chef Ben Jackson. The wine comes mostly from limited vintages and Jackson's menu is both hyper-local and micro-seasonal, making a meal at Drifter's on any given night feel like a unique experience. Recognized by just about every major local and national press outlet, and a recent James Beard nominee for Best New Restaurant, the place has garnered a serious cult following." - Joe Ricchio
